Hello
I have seen questions related to "how many" and "which types of partners" were expected for the Wiki Loves Women.
Let me toss a few links to enlight the issue.
WLW is primarily a "content liberation project". Whilst this is not how we should present that to "content partners", this is basically what it is. We seek to get "non accessible" or "poorly accessible" or "currently protected" content onto Wikimedia projects under a free licence.
So, when it comes to thinking of "how many partners" and "which types of partners", it is a good idea to look at what has already been done in the wikimedia sphere, so that comparisons might emerge.
Here are some links of interest * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_residence (provides a bunch of links to already done projects. An opportunity to either look at what has been done within those projects or an opportunity to even contact previous WiR) * https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence (also provides very interesting information on the matter)
And if you follow the links, I invite you to check out and compare things such as
"in so many months", "this amount of information has been added to the projects".
For example, in two months https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Israel_Museum,_Jerusalem Work on articles related to Israel Museum : 101. 8 of which are A level articles
Naturalis Biodiversity Center, in roughly 6 months 273400 images donated and uploaded
Etc.
So of course, this project will not purely be a "WiR in a public institution" because we would like it to be an opportunity to do local outreach and expand the user base. But this is a WiR position. And amount of QUALITY content resulting from it will be our primary measure of success. This to say that the goal per country is NOT something like 100 pictures and 10 articles about local associations. It is WAY beyond.
Cheers
Flo

Hello all
The call for invidual candidates to WLW WiR positions is now closed. We have several good candidates from our community :)
The call for User Group is still open. The deadline announced was the 26th of February, but we are happy to extend that for a few additional days (let's say early next week). However, if your user group intends to submit an application, please tell us ;)
In the meanwhile... have a good end of the week.
